Authorized Westlake Royal Installer — Florida License CCC1330718
A low-profile concrete tile that delivers the timeless elegance of natural slate without the weight or cost. HVHZ-approved and NOA-certified for Broward and Miami-Dade Counties.
Westlake Royal Saxony 900 Slate
The Westlake Royal Saxony 900 Slate is a low-profile concrete roof tile engineered to replicate the refined, flat appearance of natural slate. Unlike genuine slate, which can weigh 800–1,000 pounds per square and cost a small fortune to install, the Saxony 900 delivers a comparable architectural statement at a fraction of the weight and expense. It is manufactured by Westlake Royal Building Products, one of the largest and most respected building materials companies in North America, with a long track record of producing concrete tile that performs in the most demanding climates — including South Florida.
For homeowners who want the clean, sophisticated lines of a slate roof on a concrete tile budget, the Saxony 900 is an outstanding choice. Its low profile lays flat against the roof deck, creating a smooth, uniform surface that reads as premium from the street. The tile interlocks on all four sides, providing excellent wind resistance and water shedding — two qualities that matter enormously in a hurricane zone.
The Saxony 900 Slate carries Florida Product Approval FL5795 and is NOA-approved by Miami-Dade County, which means it meets the stringent requirements of the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) that governs roofing in Broward and Miami-Dade Counties. When installed by a qualified contractor using the approved underlayment, fastening system, and flashing details, the Saxony 900 is engineered to withstand the wind loads that South Florida homes face during tropical storms and hurricanes. Coastal Roofing and Waterproofing Inc. has the HVHZ experience and license (CCC1330718) to install this system correctly and get it through permitting and inspection without surprises.
The Saxony 900's low-profile, flat aesthetic pairs beautifully with contemporary, transitional, and Mediterranean-inspired architecture common throughout Broward and Palm Beach Counties. Many homeowners' associations in upscale communities appreciate the tile's clean lines and muted color palette, which complement stucco exteriors, impact windows, and modern landscaping without overwhelming the facade. Because it is a concrete tile, it also offers excellent thermal mass — helping to regulate attic temperatures and reduce cooling loads during South Florida's long summer season.
Natural slate has been a prestige roofing material for centuries, prized for its durability, fire resistance, and distinctive flat, layered appearance. The Saxony 900 captures that visual character through precision-engineered concrete tile that mimics slate's flat surface and subtle texture variations. The result is a roof that looks like it belongs on a high-end estate, but with the practical benefits of concrete: lower cost, lighter weight, easier installation, and excellent impact resistance. For South Florida homeowners who want curb appeal that stands out from the standard barrel-tile neighborhood look, the Saxony 900 is a compelling alternative.

We submit the Florida Product Approval and NOA documentation through your local building department's permitting system — LauderBuild, ePermit, or the relevant portal.
We remove the old roof, inspect and repair the deck, and install a self-adhering modified bitumen underlayment — mandatory under HVHZ code for tile systems.

FAQ
Westlake Royal concrete roof tiles are engineered for a service life of 50 years or more when properly installed and maintained. In Florida's climate, the concrete itself is highly durable and resistant to UV, salt air, and hurricane-force winds. The underlayment and flashing components typically need replacement after 20–30 years, at which point the tiles can often be removed and reinstalled over new underlayment — a process called 'tile salvage' that extends the life of the system significantly.
Yes. The Westlake Royal Saxony 900 Slate carries a Florida Product Approval and a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), which is the certification required for installation in Broward County's High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ). When installed by a licensed contractor using the approved components and methods, the system is fully compliant with Broward County building code.
The Saxony 900 Slate is offered in colors including Dark Charcoal, Beach Blonde Blend, Brown Sugar/Black Antique, Buckskin, and Cafe Sand Blend, with additional blends available depending on production. We recommend viewing physical samples in natural light before making a final selection, as concrete tile colors can have subtle variations between production runs.
